I know that enlightenment is just a click away (or should be...), but in such 
announcement, it can be useful to remind what the project is about, to incite people to 
discover it.
Actually, if I click on the http://ophal.org link, I see only a page of news, identical to 
your announce there, so still uninformative. I only see Home and Download links, the first 
one leading recursively to the same page (I always wondered about the point of such links).
I have a bit more information if I follow the documentation link, although it remains terse.
Ah, scrolling to the bottom of the home page, I also find some explanation. Perhaps you 
should make a blurb near the top of the page (and of the HTML file, for better referencing 
by search engines) to welcome the new visitor.

This is not a gratuitous criticism of your communication skills, I just wanted to point 
out that such announcement should be self-sufficient, not relying on some supposed 
knowledge of the context of the project.

HTH.
